I do all of my washing in Tide…
Too damned cold out Tide

Moreover, I recently asked 100 women what their favorite shampoo is…

Their number one answer…?
“How-the-fuck-did-you-get-in-here?”

I use Duke Cannon's Big Ass Bricks of Soap. Lasts me 3 months.

Those one’s are great. The bourbon one and leather and leaf ones in particular.

Hard disagree on the Tobasco my friend. While a decent sauce, it gets its heat more from the vinegar than the peppers. I’ll enjoy it at a greasy spoon but there’s literally thousands of sauces that are better, dozens that are readily available at your local grocery store.

And he’ll, I’ve even made more flavorful hot sauces!

But, BUT, if Tobasco is your jam it isn’t a bad jam to have if you’re in a jam

All the Tabasco is made in one factory on Avery Island Louisiana, from locally grown red peppers and vinegar and aged in oak barrels like bourbon.

You may not like it, but odds are you have a bottle in your fridge, to make Cajun dishes.

And the only reason you’d buy another brand is it’s a larger bottle for the same price.

Tabasco has an effective monopoly on aged red pepper sauce.

And they are smart enough to only, make Tabasco sauce.

I haven’t been to the island but I’ve been to NOLA and visited their museum years ago. And if you were a betting man your odds failed you lol. I have several bottles of hot sauce in my kitchen, non of them Tabasco and I haven’t had Tabasco in my kitchen for over close to two decades

What I’ve always wondered is how anyone could get past the Tabasco sauce burn to taste any difference in aged pepper sauces.

My son sometimes buys the larger bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce.

My wife insists on real Tabasco.

Well that’s the vinegar creating the heat. Once you start trying hot sauces where pepper is listed as the first ingredient, like Huy Fong Sriracha, that’s when you start picking up a lot mor flavor along with the heat.

How did we get from soap to Tabasco sauce??

Briar Lee mentioned it in one of his Ivory follow up posts lol. I got nothing more to say on the subject of hot sauces right now though lol

Agree. The vinegar component in Tabasco is way more in the forefront compared to virtually any other sauce. I know it is not the best, but I do like it and it has its niches. As do all my hot sauces. Aside from regular I like the chipotle, habanero, and the green one. The green one (forget the pepper type but it’s super-mild) is good to add to homemade Italian dressing, just a few dashes for a boost, but indiscernible that a hot sauce has been added.

Just go with the flow

Speaking of brand names, the name can be too powerful and the courts rule the product is generic.

Ivory soap won’t have that problem as long as there is Dove, Safeguard and Lifebouy.

Tabasco won’t so long as there’s Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Victorola, Wurlitzer, Frigidaire, Frisbee, and Xerox, barely avoided being generic. And while Weed Eater is still a trade name the rotary line trimmer patent was invalidated, as too obvious.

Bayer Aspirin is the original. Aspirin was a trade name.

Heroin was a registered trade name of Parke Davis for synthetic opium.

Escalator was a trade name of Otis Elevator

Zipper was trademarked by B F Goodrich for rubber boots

Linoleum was a trade name for floor covering. It was the first trade name to become generic.

Cellophane was a trade name of Du Pont

A Dumpster was patented in 1937 and was a trade name of Demster Brothers who first made dumpsters.

You want a practical monopoly in the trade, not a total monopoly.

I remember getting my mouth CAKED with Ivory soap.......... I was probably 5-6 years old.
My Dad was a rough guy, but I cussed in front of him and he put that old bar of Ivory in my mouth and it was caked on the inside of my teeth. Nastiest taste I'd ever experienced.
To this day I don't EVER use Ivory soap....... but I do swear a bit!

The green Tobasco is pretty good! And for my criticisms of Tobasco, I’m not saying it’s awful by any means. I love craft beer but I’d be lying if I said you’d never catch me drinking a Pabst .

My dad always had a bar of Lava in the basement by the laundry sink. It always got dirty hands clean.

Yeah, that stuff works. Also there was a powder whose name I can't recall that worked great on grease and dirty oil

When I was in high school (mid 70's) I worked for a company that manufactured small electric motors for vending machines. In the men's room there was a dispenser of powdered (yellowish/tan) hand cleaner. It was very gritty and it worked well.

In a pinch it’d make a tasty beverage, too.
